You sound like the perfect person to ask: is there a bipedal dinosaur out there, where, if it were contemporaneous with humans, be just about the right size for riding (no larger than the biggest warhorse) and unlikely to turn around and nom the rider's arm off when it got peckish? I'm looking to draw dinos as a mount in a fantasy series, and I haven't found that bipedal-herbivore-reasonable-size dino to inspire me yet.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
I'm still waiting to play this bad boy!!!

ReplyDeleteAn ostrich Dino like gallimimus would be about perfect. Go nuts with the feathers.
ReplyDeletePrehistoric kangaroo might make for an interesting mount, too. (Remember, the old ones were large, brawny, and walked instead of hopping)

And for a more tank-like mount, prehistoric wombats were HUGE and solid.
